Letter to the Editor

I was disappointed to see that the OPP press release, headlined “Two teens charged in goat killing,” had been relegated to page A3 of the April 12 edition of the Fort Frances Times and did not include the names of those involved; even though both the Thunder Bay and Winnipeg newspapers did name these young men.

This letter is, in part, a response to Coun. Doug Kitowski's question in the Feb. 22 issue of the Fort Frances Times headlined: “Library hours may be reduced.”

Yes, Coun. Kitowski, there is something special about our library! In fact, the Fort Frances Public Library Technology Centre is special in so many different ways that it is difficult to know where to begin.

This seems to be the year for celebrations: Canada's 150th birthday and Elizabeth's 65 years as our Queen.

Sixty-five years ago, there was the building of the '52 Canadians Arena and our own Fort Frances Canadians won the coveted Allan Cup in this new arena. The present St. Mary's Church was built that year, as well.

I'm writing in response to the letter to the editor from Gordon Woollard in the Wednesday, Feb. 1 edition of the Times. My name is Angela and I am one of the owners of Rainy River Cannabis Collective (R.R.C.C.)

First, I would like to thank Mr. Woollard for taking the time to write in, opening a dialogue as I'm sure many folks around the area have questions.
